Voynich Decoded

[Kris1212]

Andrew: I do believe that certain aspects of the MS make this kind of behavior more likely. Perhaps most important that the glyphs are easy to tell apart and they look like a regular European script. Words look like words. You don't have to think too much before you can get your theory going. Compare that to Linear A or the Rohonc Codex for contrast. 

Making a Voynich theory that feels plausible to the solver is just...easy. That's the trap.

That's fair enough. I guess I'm a little less forgiving of these proposed solutions (and their proposers) BECAUSE it is so easy to come up with illusory solutions of the quality we see  -- and when they are all so easily debunked.  And as I mentioned, any well-known unsolved cipher seems to attract a lot of those delusional claims --and in direct proportion to the puzzle's notoriety. 

I don't really fault Kris1212 for being concerned about protecting the hopeful solution, but the fact that he (she?) doesn't realize that the protection he seeks comes from revealing his solution as quickly and publicly as possible, and not from hiding, speaks to the likelihood that he is not seeing the situation objectively and has fallen to the same delusion.

(I think, when he implied that you approved the solution, I said the same thing to myself that many on this forum probably did;  "Well Koen will be no doubt be posting a correction to that statement very shortly so I'lll just go a get a coffee while I wait for it".   )

So i'm not hiding my decode at all, just not revealing it to the world yet, give me a few days and you can all see it, I'll put it online, I'll share the pdf here and you can all have a good old look, Koen actually said some good things about it too and the bad things he said I feel he didn't properly understand and when I put it online it will cover all his critiques, don't worry, I've made absolutely sure I've covered his negatives. I'm sure everyone is sure of their theory and at the moment right now I don't see any holes in mine, I'm not a numpty I was a professional troubleshooter for many years, amongst other things, I also work more than full time hours, I have a full time self funded animal rescue and just me and my husband, 17 dogs, 2 pigs, chickens, ducks, I also live off the grid so power can be an issue at times, I'm going as fast as I can and the only reason I'm protecting my decode so fiercely is because if I am right it could change our lives here, we can get some fencing and rescue more dogs....not much to ask is it, so give me a break, be patient and then you can rip me to shreds and sit back and laugh your little socks off...and I honestly won't care because I gave it a bloody good go and I didn't listen to the naysayers, I'm not nasty or a bitch but I give as good as I get :-)
